scottb613 246 Posted July 11, 2017 Hi @bludski, Sounds like a great plan and based on this map I'm sure anything you do will be a little jewel... Hah - also reminds me of one of my pet peeves with BI - AI's ability to navigate rivers is almost nonexistent (right up there with puddles/lakes and lack of women) - at least from my experiments... Seems like that map would be an excellent candidate for vibrant river traffic and Apocalypse Now kind of river battles... Appreciate your shared thoughts and preview...

bludski 4420 Posted July 11, 2017 @scottb613 The rivers here will mostly be just deep enough to cross with minimal effort like on the northern part of the prei ones. In reality, water in the area will vary by 10+ meters in the rain season but since we can't have elevated water in arma, this will basically be a large swamp in most regards so that anything resembling rivers will be possible. Lots of experimenting left to do though. The bigger map will be slightly more geared towards wheels though so there will be bridge type situations too. It might not even be bigger. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
namrewob1 62 Posted July 12, 2017 Having done a few Combat Patrols on this terrain now, I've got to say it's the most intense environment I've played in. I spent about two hours on by belt buckle, crawling through the jungle to recce a target for CAS, to get shot by a bloke I didn't see come through the bushes. Keep up the great work! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beno_83au 1362 Posted July 12, 2017 Still plugging away at making a number of missions on this map, and it hasn't disappointed yet. Here's another few minutes worth of video of something I'm closing in on finishing. So far it's one of the harder one's I've made (I run setDamage false every time I test it just to make sure I get through) and can get pretty intense and confusing at times. But then again night, rain and low visibility will do that: Edit: Video Desciption WIP video of mission #7 for my Jungle Ops campaign I've been making for me and some mates to play on (when it's done). This mission is a defensive battle where the player's fire-team and squad are central to an enemy attack that comes in waves. I was going for a difficult mission with low visibility due to rain and fog/mist, and from what I've played through of it the GLA flares make a lot of difference to how the mission flows. This mission is just about finished. Just need to apply some changes noted down from this play through featured here and it's done. Plus, I'm running with setDamage false to ensure I get through to the end to get everything tested. This mission also features my Remote Detonator Function for detonating mines (inspired by this terrain) and also uses my support-by-fire function (static weapon version in this case). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BIS was recently experimenting with tides, I believe the same could be used for the river on a landlocked map. This feature was in ArmA2 already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Folks, Nice work - making a similar mission using Unsung (1965 USMC) - so no NVG's - just flares and flashlights... It get's dark in that jungle at night...

If you're doing the river the "normal" way (not as a pond), and your terrain is landlocked, then it should be possible to get a reasonably realistic "wet season" effect using the tide curve.

I was in NO way talking about varying the water levels i was talking about water at various levels of elevation. The map is set in the wet season. Else it would be mostly brown, no puddles, and barely any water in the main river. What I am talking about is we are using sea water to pretend it isn't because that is the only water we have. One level. Rivers flow downward. From an elevated position. Doing more than one particular season and playing with tides doesn't enter into it. I want water at different altitude levels. Can't have that so map is will basically be a swamp. Adjusting the sea level has nothing to with anything and doing it will break the illusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The kind of terrain you showed doesn't appear to include any elevated position. A wide, meandering river like in the pic on the previous page usually flows across a mostly flat area (hence the meandering - any grade noticeable to a human will make a river flow straight down the slope). At the map sizes we're talking about I wouldn't expect much in terms of elevation changes that far downriver. That said, given the changes in how vegetation looks between wet and dry seasons, sticking to just one of them is, all in all, probably a good idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
autigergrad 2034 Posted July 12, 2017 Great map... Some shots from one of my ALiVE UNSUNG missions on this beautiful terrain. 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottb613 246 Posted July 13, 2017 @autigergrad Great pix... Happy to see you here with ALiVE/Unsung - combined with this beautiful map seems to offer unlimited potential - while I haven't had the opportunity to try any of your missions yet - @HeroesandvillainsOS speaks very highly of you and I have tried and thoroughly enjoyed his work... I've been messing with the same content myself - just a rank amateur making unpolished sandbox stuff for my own pleasure - anxious to see what someone with more skill can do on this map... I've been using @OpenDome's ORBAT factions - but - I need to modify them to suit my needs - I don't think he made any of the green factions... Recently discovered you can't equip ORBAT factions in the arsenal - which means you either have to script load outs or build your own ORBAT factions for each mission... I've just been making very localized missions as the detail of this map has me shying away from full map ALiVE campaign - I'm still running an old i2700K @ 4.7Ghz (which is giving me decent performance so far) - I think it's getting to be time for a new box and a 21:9 monitor... Anyway - please keep us posted on anything you do for this map - LOL - as I just can't seem to get enough of Prei Khmaoch Luong... Regards, Scott 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beno_83au 1362 Posted July 23, 2017 I'm liking some of these clearings that are just barely big enough for a makeshift LZ. Desc: Mission still needs radio comms, briefing, tasks and some other stuff. Plus, this one isn't made with AI team mates in mind (small 4-man team), so for the testing there's some work-arounds built into it to get the AI to do what the players would. This mission uses 5 unitCapture/unitPlay recordings for the UH-1Y flights, and the video is here mainly to show those off. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

imager6 40 Posted July 26, 2017 Thanks for a great map, we just performed a mission to take back a FOB from NVA using the UNSONG mod. Your quality of work on the FOB's is wonderful. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sparfell_19 188 Posted July 27, 2017 Hi Bludski and thanks a lot for your work. Prei Khmaoch Long is amazingly beautifull. While I was working on a WIP COOP mini-campaign on your map, I did this tiny video trailer. I hope you'll appreciate it. Texts are in french but I added english subtitles. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

direone 3697 Posted August 2, 2017 Mate you made one of the best map out there with this type of environment! A really great job i totally love it :D i'm planning to make some pictures on it (DEVGRU guys clearing a village or something still thinking what the misison will be ahaha) this is a small preview (if you are ok with that i can post all the pictures also here) (yep they are wearing MC tropic and as they doesn't use it in current days i set the pictures in a fictional future where they start using it :P) 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BadHabitz 235 Posted October 6, 2017 My unit ran a mission on this map this past Sunday. 25-30 guys. Performance was excellent. The only negative I think is that I wish the map was bigger, but that's just me nitpicking. Good job! Can't wait to see more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
